7-6 Dell OptiPlex Gs and Gs+ Low-Profile Systems Reference and Installation Guide
11. Reinstall the 3.5-inch diskette drive/bracket
assembly.
Fit the notches on the right side of the bracket (see
Figure 7-6) into the slots on the right wall of the
chassis. Then rotate the bracket downward, and press
down on the left side of the bracket until it locks
under the tabs on the left side of the drive bay.
Reconnect the DC power cable and interface cable
you removed in step 3.
NOTE: If you installed a diskette drive or tape drive
using the built-in diskette/tape drive interface con-
troller, connect the remaining end of the new
interface cable to the interface connector on the
back of the drive.
12. If the 5.25-inch drive bay was previously empty,
remove its front-panel insert from the computer
cover.
See “Removing and Replacing Front-Panel Inserts”
found earlier in this chapter.
13. Replace the computer cover.
If the bezel on your drive is not flush with the bezel
on your computer, remove the drive and adjust the
position of the drive on the bracket, making sure to
insert and tighten the screws in the order marked.
Replace the drive in the drive bay, and then replace
the computer cover.
14. Reconnect your computer and peripherals to
their power sources, and turn them on.
15. Update your system configuration information.
For a diskette drive, enter the System Setup program
and update the appropriate
DISKETTE DRIVE category
(
A or B) on Page 1 of the System Setup screens to
reflect the size and capacity of your new diskette
drive. (For more information, see Chapter 2, “Using
the System Setup Program.”)
If you installed a non-EIDE tape drive as the second
drive, set the
DISKETTE DRIVE B category to NOT
INSTALLED.
For EIDE CD-ROM and tape drives, set the appro-
priate
DRIVE category (
0
or
1
) in the SECONDARY
drive section to
AUTO.
16. Verify that your system works correctly.
See your Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide for
information on running the diskette-based diagnostics
and troubleshooting any problems that may occur. Use
the following guidelines to determine which test to
use:
•
If you installed a diskette drive, test it by run-
ning all the subtests in the Diskette Drive(s) Test
Group of the Dell diagnostics.
•
If you installed a CD-ROM drive, see the
documentation that came with the drive for
instructions on loading device drivers and using
the drive. If it is an EIDE CD-ROM drive, test it
by running all the subtests in the IDE CD ROM
Drives Test Group of the Dell diagnostics.
•
If you installed a tape drive, first verify that your
diskette drive is still operating correctly by run-
ning all the subtests in the Diskette Drive(s) Test
Group of the Dell diagnostics. Then perform a
tape backup and verification test with the drive
as instructed in the tape-drive software docu-
mentation that came with the drive.
NOTE: The tape drives sold by Dell come with their
own operating software and documentation. After
you install a tape drive, refer to the documentation
that came with the drive for instructions on installing
and using the tape drive software.
I
nstalling an External Tape Drive
Install an external tape drive and its controller card as
follows:
1. Prepare the tape drive and controller card for
installation.
Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal
surface on the back of the computer. Unpack the tape
drive and controller card, and configure them for
your system according to the instructions in the
documentation that came with the tape drive.
